Our Lifesaving Rules
Over the past six months we have consulted with over
1,300 staff members, union colleagues, suppliers and
other organisations to develop our Lifesaving Rules.
We have agreed 11 Lifesaving Rules. They’re here to
protect all of us. If you’re ever asked to break or ignore
any of these Rules, you have the right to say no.
For more information please speak to your line manager.

Lifesaving Rule: Plant Exclusion Zones
RRV’s are dangerous and unpredictable. That’s why our new Lifesaving Rule
requires us to keep a clear exclusion zone around all moving machinery.
Before you pass or work near an RRV always make sure you have
permission from the Machine Controller or Crane Controller.
When in doubt ASK B4U PASS
Never enter the agreed exclusion zone,
unless directed to by the person in charge.
